In the past week, big things happened one after another, which can be said to be quite dreamy. In contrast, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which is in the stalemate and rest stage, is not so eye-catching.
But On July 12, a move by Russia and Ukraine once again pushed the Russia-Ukraine conflict into the focus.
Let’s look at Russia first. On July 11, local time, Russian President Putin signed a presidential decree stating that all Ukrainian residents can obtain Russian citizenship through a simple procedure.
Previously, Russia’s measures were only targeted at the Ukrainian people in Luhansk , Donetsk , Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Now, Russia may be seeing good results and is preparing to introduce new measures in Ukraine. Promoted nationwide.
Because since this measure was used in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, these two regions have continuously expressed their intention to hold referendums to join Russia, and have even begun to use Moscow time instead of Kiev time.
I have to say that the impact of Russia's move is quite significant. mainly has two points:
First, it disintegrates the morale of the Ukrainian military and civilians. As the old saying goes: "Attack the heart first, attack the city first." Therefore, Russia used this method to give the war-torn Ukrainian residents a way to survive, which was of great help to the collapse of Ukraine's overall morale.
Some people may say that Ukraine has no sense of family and country? Personally, I think we should not use our sense of home and country to apply to Ukrainian residents. We must know that Russia and Ukraine are originally from the same nation, and the two have only been separated for 30 years, so Ukrainian residents do not have such great pressure.
Second, weaken Ukraine’s strength. From ancient times to the present, population has always been one of the most basic elements for the development of a country or society. Ukraine's population in 2021 is only 43.9 million, with millions of refugees running away, and millions more voting to join Russia in the referendum.
Such a serious population loss has already dealt a huge blow to Ukraine. If Russia continues to "coerce and induce" some to leave, it will undoubtedly make Ukraine worse.
means that Russia now not only wants to grab Ukraine’s land, but also “rob” Ukraine’s population. is really going to pull the trigger. It is precisely because of this serious impact that the Ukrainian government is also "panic".
On July 11, local time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine directly stated that Russia's move was a violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and it did not have any legal consequences for Ukraine.
In addition, Ukraine also used this to appeal to the international community, asking its allies to provide more weapons assistance to Ukraine and provide more sanctions on Russia.
At the same time, Ukraine also achieved a major result in the military field. On the night of the 11th local time, a violent explosion occurred in Kherson Oblast, Ukraine.
The Ukrainian explanation for this was that the Ukrainian army hit a warehouse that stored fifty oil tankers and two hundred tornado rockets.
In response, Russia also responded. stated that the Ukrainian army used the "Haimas" rocket launcher system to attack the local area, causing heavy losses to Russia.
It has to be said that after Ukraine obtained " Seamus ", it caused more and more troubles for Russia and achieved more and more results. It can be seen that advanced weapons and equipment have a huge impact on modern warfare.
But for now, Russia still has an absolute advantage in artillery suppression. According to Ukraine, the number comparison between Russia and Ukraine in heavy artillery is still 8:1.
Therefore, from the overall situation, Ukraine is still at a disadvantage in the overall situation. It is for this reason that Russia proposed a plan to allow Ukrainian residents to join Russia. In the face of absolute strength, it is difficult for Ukraine to counterattack, and it can only condemn Russia morally.
At present, Ukraine is still only waiting for Russia's attack on the frontal battlefield and is passively defensive. If simply wants to rely on "Haimas" to cause absolute trouble to Russia, it is still not enough. also doesn’t know when the “counterattack” mentioned by Zelensky will come.
